    My cod and shrimp yakisoba with zucchini.
    Pearl L.

    I have visited Riverside Mongolian Grill a few times and ordered through a delivery app once. The dine in experiences have always been satisfying and delicious! However, receiving food from here through delivery was the most bland and awful experience of Mongolian Grill I have ever had. Additionally, the dine in experience so much better as you can eat as much as you like (though no leftovers), unlimited sides for your meal (soups, spring rolls, gyoza, white rice and ice cream) and plenty of seating. The ambiance isn't anything impressive but it seems well maintained enough. The bathroom is not gender neutral and has a weird layout, especially the women's bathroom. The lighting is amble and there are several fans everywhere, which was most appreciated as it can get pretty hot in there quick due to the grilling. The layout of different ingredients for grilling are plentiful with several types of noodles (spinach noodles included), proteins, vegetables and sauces. There were definitely some sanitary concerns as there were some discolored shrimp and different ingredients in bins that they don't belong in. However, they did for the most part look fresh. In addition, the staff were also good about refilling ingredients or the hot foods whenever it started to get low. Speaking of which, the staff members seemed polite and friendly. My boyfriend and I were very happy with our dine in experience. However, the cost for dinner was a lot despite the dinner options not being impressive enough to warrant the drastic price increase (squid, shrimp, and lamb). Drinks are an additional charge here and not included in the price. We definitely will come around lunch instead if we decide to come back.

    Back at Riverside Mongolian Grill... they still do a great job in such a humble location. Great service and ingredients... it's up to you to pick the right ones! I love lamb myself... they have some helpful guides if you are new as well.

    Straight from the grill!

    Reasonably priced all you can eat. Great fresh choices and sauces that still have their flavor! We dropped in between lunch and dinner, so we had personalized service. Everyone ( hostess and cook) were very nice. Unlike most other Mongolian Grill restaurants, this one provides potstickers, soup and soft serve ice cream. Who would have thunk it, those pot stickers were the best I've had! No booths or bar, but they do serve beer, wine and SAKE....

    Again last weeks order.

    I have ordered several more times since my original post. My son works at Wal-Mart bringing in the carts so he brings home more germs then a pre-schooler, so the Egg drop soup/egg flower soup is hot upon arrival and very comforting. While I mentioned the spring rolls are most likely frozen I have decided for some reason I love them. I dip them in the soup or in left over sweet and sour sauce because that is one of the reasons it is not a 5star they do not offer any side sauces.

    You can really eat a lot for a flat price here. You go to the back and grab multiple bowls of ingredients, which include different types of noodles, meats, veggies, sauces and condiments, and you get in line at the grilling area. You can apparently now also do fried rice instead. They have complimentary egg drop soup and egg roll/potstickers stations as well. My only complaint is how the elder server lady changes the ambiance. She was always hanging around, and it felt like she kept barking orders to rush us to eat and leave.

Pros: Great teriyaki Delicious California rolls (best ones I've had) Great gyoza Nice sweet salad Very cheap, however, sometimes it feels like a quantity over quality situation. Wait time is usually 10 minutes or longer, depending on how busy it is. Cons: - Food could be more hot (downside to takeout) especially the fried food and teriyaki - Weird shrimp tempura, it's as if they mashed shrimp, rolled it into a log and deep fried it, still good though. - egg roll is great and usually very hot however it tastes strange at times - due to the large amount of food in the bento box, I usually eat more the next day as leftovers. However, the egg flour soup cannot be reheated, as it turns into a weird, jelly substance. Overall, nice, tiny teriyaki joint tucked away next to Fred Meyer. Great for stopping by for dinner after shopping, very convenient. Strange deep-fried food though.

Although he was able to explain the AYCE rules thoroughly, he lacked the basic knowledge of what the sauce contained. He also kept asking if we wanted the grill changed. We explained that once the grill was "seasoned," the food would not stick; which is why we didn't want it changed... yet he asked if we wanted it changed right after this. I also asked for more napkins, he brought one. The ventilation in this restaurant is horrendous, the smoke and heat from the grill were unpleasant for anyone sitting near the wall. I had to move seats after I was done cooking, because the heat was making me sweat profusely. A female employee came by and asked if we needed anything, and I asked for napkins (to wipe the sweat off my face). She looked at me as if I was asking for a slice of pizza. I asked her if there was a problem, because of the look she gave me. She responded, "no." I got the feeling as though she didn't want to give us napkins for some reason. Again, the food was good, but the service was terrible.

It provides a sense of cultural pride that can be lost in some places. Went here for at friends bday party and we had a large crowd. What I enjoyed the most is that we could pre-order our food, which I appreciated a lot. Having a large group of people can mean a delay in getting food, etc. but they were super efficient and we received our food in great time. What a bonus and reflective of their service. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive even with such a big crowd. Usually I'm fighting to get noticed or anything additional from servers but when we asked for hot chili oil and eggroll dipping sauce, they came back quickly with the condiments. Now, I didn't give them a 5 because our food wasn't too hot, and the hot chili oil was not hot as in spicy. It was good but not what I had expected. The eggroll was OK but the hot and sour soup and the beef green bean was so yummy. Well-seasoned. I also really liked that they have indicidual dinner meals! That is so nice when you don't want to spend so much, or want to get something specific and not share. Lastly, I bought sesame balls- just a nice sweet but subtle treat and they were so good. So delicious that when I got home, I ate the rest! I didn't plan to. Just happened lol! They are located by PLU and a little further than I would go for food since I live in North Tacoma. I will be back if there is another party or asked to. Hope they get good business/crowds here! Best of luck!

The teriyaki chicken is warmed up, so the two come out different temperatures and one seems lukewarm and the other piping hot. I buried several pieces of my chicken so the rice would warm it up.

The Mongolian Beef was not good. I didn't care for the sauce, the meat was chewy, and the styrofoam noodles were rancid--and there were a lot of them! The actual portion size was pretty small. The salad on the plate with the Teriyaki and Gyoza was big chunk of lettuce with a giant glob of dressing--pretty unappealing. Service was mediocre. There were flies buzzing around as we ate. I think we are the only Americans in here right now. Pretty busy for dinner. Not really sure that we would return, better places in the area. Overall 2.5 rating.

The rest of the food was a 1 or 2 star depending on what you get. I was shocked how poor the actual Chinese food was. It was mushy, dry or just bland. The other options like pizza, pot roast or chicken looked ok too. Plenty of seating, just need to be willing to walk around and look in all the side rooms. There was a TV and the rooms were small enough that it kept down the main section noice that you can have a conversation. The drink bar was interesting, there were 2 on one side but the other side of the restaurant had to share 1.
